 This series just keeps delivering! Hak’s relationship with the Green Dragon is a highlight, and I loved seeing Gija and Shin-ah’s budding bromance—it’s heartwarming to see their connections deepen. Yona and Yun bonding over their shared fear while naming the Blue Dragon was so adorable, but it’s Hak’s moments with Yona that truly steal the show. His feelings are becoming harder to contain as Yona’s world expands, and her request in this volume made perfect sense, adding a meaningful layer to their dynamic.

Meeting the Green Dragon (in a way only Hak could manage!) was hilarious, and the ensuing plot to convince him to join the group was fascinating. Jae-ha’s initial avoidance of the gang made his eventual face-to-face with Yona even more satisfying. I also appreciated how the old woman challenged Yona, pushing her to grow even further.

With every volume, this series becomes more of a precious gem. The search for the dragons continues, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
